Rewind: Scribner just latest A's reliever to hit hard times

OAKLAND -– The roller coaster ride continues for the A’s bullpen, with a reliever or two finding their rhythm just about the time someone else experiences a nose dive.

There was a point earlier this season when Evan Scribner was the most reliable relief option that manager Bob Melvin had. Now it’s a different story, and Scribner is one of those guys searching for answers.

The right-hander served up a pair of two-run homers in the eighth inning Friday, and a close game turned ugly for the A’s in a 9-5 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

Not that this one hangs solely on Scribner.
